Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the details submitted pursuant to condition 17 make appropriate provision for waste collections
What decided it
The proposed waste collection arrangements, whilst exceeding British Standard guidance distances, are adequate for planning purposes because the dragging paths are predominantly straight with allocated service bays and reversing occurs in low-traffic areas, and the British Standard itself is guidance rather than specification.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H2 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020Policy BE1 of the Adopted Replacement Harlow Local Plan
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
